My truck is holding up pretty well for close to 350000 miles. Has some rust spots and getting a little worn. The engine runs great and the heat and ac both work. Some little things do not work anymore like the door lock with the key fob on the passenger side. The tailgate will sometimes not stay latched. And the abs light stays on but they are fine. Good dependable truck just keep the oil changed and runs like a charm.

Gas mileage and good running gear.
Very dependable, good to fair gas mileage, comfortable seating, not to reliable on snow or ice, has rear wheel drive, good little wood etc. Hauler.

Pretty good utility truck !
Solid, pretty good engine, doesn't consume too much gas. The bed of the truck can be a little short sometimes, depending on what you put in it. The main thing I don't like about it is the fact that it's not a real double cab, the jump seat in the back are fine for small trip and for pretty short people. Overall, it's pretty good truck for regularly use. I use it to go to work everyday and drive it on the weekend to the motocross track too.

Ford ranger handles Montana winters.
Currently having engine issues. The windows and gauges stopped working this summer. For a small truck it handles well in the snow and mountains. It does all we need but we will likely be upgrading soon for hauling bigger things like a boat and multiple snowmobiles.

If you treat your Ranger like a member of your family, take care of it and keep up maintenance up, it will last.
I like the Ranger because it suits me for shopping. I dislike the fact that it does not have a tilting steering wheel. No complaints, 160,000 miles.
Mario G
on February 21, 2021
Probably that it is a very reliable vehicle that with basic care will hopefully keep going for another 10 years
I like that it is very basic, does not require a lot of care. It has had very few mechanical problems, it has been mostly normal things that at some point have to be replaced. It has plenty of space for me and to bring things inside or in the bed
George G
on February 19, 2021
It's functional for everywhere I want to go plus I can use it for moving almost anything I need.
It's a good size for most of my chores. Has extended cad to to keep items dry or safe. Sometimes wish it had bigger payload.

I think it is the best rig I have owned for handling and for ride on long drives.
My ranger xlt 4x4 gets fair gas mileage, gets me around whether its is to the store or up in the mountains for getting firewood or hunting, the on the move 4 wheel drive switch is great on snow and ice covered roads, has saved me a few times from going over the hill.

It is safe and that it looks really nice on the rims and tires I have it on.
I really enjoy my Ford ranger. It seats 4 comfortably with room for a little one in between. I love the length on the bed of the truck. The ranger drives very smooth and has the ability to get up and go when I want. Took it for a road trip and it was one of the most comfortable driving trips in a while.
Shawn S

A reliable little 4x4 if you know how to keep it running
It's beer affordable compared to similar vehicles. I don't trust the transmission. It is easy to work on and parts are cheap
joseph w

Always keep an eye on your fluids. Know how to do your own simple repairs. Saves you money that way.
It's a small truck. I could use some more room in my vehicle. It's starting to nickel and dime me on repairs. Cost to much to put gas in it anymore.
Melissa D

Just that it is way to small.
It is way to small for my family only a couple of people can go at one time. We need a bigger size car or truck.

Small light trucks hate ice
Great visibility, reliable, adequate bed space. Narrow body makes parking easy. Engine compartment on the 2.4 liter engine leaves plenty of room for maintenance or modification. Eats throttle position sensors every year or so but the part is cheap and the fix is easy. Can't handle ice or snow. Likes to spin back tires due to low weight in back of truck.

Sturdy and Versatile 2002 Ford Ranger
My 2002 Ford Ranger Edge is reliable in the sense that it has and continues with almost 130,000 miles to get me from point A to point B with little problems. The biggest problems I have are recurring and it is that the brakes, no matter the amount of times they are changed malfunction and sometimes make it nearly impossible to come to a complete stop in a timely manner, also the heater nearly never works properly. I received the truck almost three years ago and although I have some problems such as overheating and dead batteries, they have all been resolved except for the brakes and heater. The inside itself is comfortable and includes 5 seats, three in the front and two in back. Although, I would not recommend having three in front as it is completely unsafe for both the driver and passenger. The truck bed has carried almost two full sized couches so it is very dependable for moving. I wouldn't recommend this truck for everyday driving but I have and overall it is reliable and versatile/flexible for my full time lifestyle. There are little blind spots and is easily accessible in almost all parking spots and driveways. I could tell in the trucks earlier days it had very little problems as it is fairly old now and gives me little trouble.

Ford Ranger, best truck for landscape designers
My Ford Ranger is the best. I'm a landscape designer and I used to drive a sedan. When I was looking to trade my sedan for a different vehicle it was based on functionality. I needed a vehicle that could carry small loads of plants or small equipment that I could load in my vehicle and take to a job site. A truck was a great option for me, but I needed something I could easily maneuver in around the city and not have to pay a high gas bill each time at the pump. My Ford Ranger is a great little truck for my job and for when I want to use a little more of its power when I go camping.
Stella D

The rough riding rainbow ranger.
It rides rough - you can feel every single bump or divot in the road as you are driving. Poor gas mileage. My version has no power anything. The speakers just went out. I love the clearance and the bed. Paint has oxidized, giving it a rainbow/oil slick look.
Joe Risher

Reliability
Great truck; only had 149000 miles when bought. Replaced original alternator & brakes. Changed oil/filter every 4000 miles using Castrol and Fram or Baldwin filters. New Michelin tires.
Sherrie H

It is an old truck not a car. It is a Ford so there are all the problems that come with that.
It is old. It is a Ford so it runs rough. I am always having something fixed on it.
Rachel K
on July 15, 2020
I love the size of the truck its not to big, but I am taller than most cars.
I have had the car for about 6 years now I love the truck, but I have many problems with it slowly breaking down. This is probably due to the fact it is so old but the truck is extremely rusted and I have had many issues with the starter and breaks. I would love a newer model of the ranger and would also recommend getting one with 4 wheel drive if you live in a snowy area.
Erich H
on July 3, 2020
It is the perfect vehicle for getting around town or hauling a small amount of whatever you'd like, even a small trailer is handled without issue.
The only real problem I've ever had with this vehicle is the transmission. I've put in two different transmissions but I've finally found a solid one. It didn't fail until it was over 100k.
Deane C
on June 26, 2020
I enjoy driving both city and highway. Truck is comfortable, great in snow.
Seats are comfortable for my 6ft body but spring control on drivers seat broke. Overall good truck with v6 has enough power to haul a payload or tow a small trailer. Road noise requires the need to turn up radio. Would like the extended cab area to open up for easier access.

Ford Ranger is the way to go.
My ranger is perfect for me. High enough to see the roads well and not to big I can't see over the passenger side hood. No major problems have occurred. Comfort rating is low as there is not much leg room for a passenger. Seat are freezing during the winter and your legs stick to the seat during the summer.
kristina B
on May 28, 2020
My gas gauge is unreliable after it gets to 1/4 of a tank.
I like how it is reliable and gets me to where I need to go. I don't like how it is tiny and there is barely a backseat. I also don't like the gas mileage on it and how much it costs to fill up.
Taz b
on May 27, 2020
Not much, really, because it's a pretty modest vehicle.
It's compact, but is still a truck and can do "truck" things. It's not the greatest on gas, but also not the worst.
Susie R
on May 22, 2020
Not expensive, good mileage, stereo is awesome.
It's a great vehicle, 5 speed, good on gas, as long as you do regular maintenance. . . I haven't had any major problems with it. . The air works real good, I freeze in it. It's a regular size truck, 2 seater, console, great for 2 people or just one, not a family vehicle.

Liz B
on May 16, 2020
Good little truck, even though old.
Bought it used and in six years have only had work on one brake pad and replaced the fuel pump - pretty good. We have an "edge" which is a step side, which means the bed is smaller. If I did it over I'd get another ranger, but get the full bed and get an extended cab so the dog could sit in the back seat.

Considering a smaller ford truck?
I drive a 2002 Ford ranger which although isn't the nicest of vehicles based on room, functionality, or comfort however the vehicle does have positive aspects. One being that the truck is easily maintained and fairly simple to perform maintenance and repairs on if you're willing to watch a YouTube video or two. Overall being that my ranger is an 02 I wouldn't recommend buying one unless you're looking for a small vehicle just to travel around town.
Rich H
on April 15, 2020
Durable but drinks gas! Dependable.
Very reliable. Has held up well over the years. Plenty of room up front and in the cab. My only complaint is the gas mileage. This truck really drinks gasoline! The problem is worse for city driving. It seems to do better on the open road. I would still recommend this truck for its durability. Particularly if you cannot find it used for a decent price.
Aisha G
on April 5, 2020
I love my little Danger Ranger
It's not really a luxury vehicle at all but it gets me places. She's super reliable and when something does go bad, buying the part is usually on the more affordable side and everything so far has been really easy and straightforward to fix. If I has any recommendations I'd say get an extended cab though for the extra space.
Robert V
on April 3, 2020
It's just an old Ford Ranger, it has been running rough and I'm really thinking about getting a new one
I think it would be important to know that it is a two door truck which has two seats in the back that face each other attached to the sides. It is not made for children to ride in
Beverly R
on March 29, 2020
Small, comfortable and gets me anywhere I need to go.
Gets me to grocery stonework and pretty much anywhere I need to go. Smooth, reliable, good on gas, and my husband loves his stereo system in it. Fits 2 and owner dog, hauls trailers like its nothing! Overall great little truck. Owned it about 2&1/2 now and still running like a champ.
Leonard M

Other than mild issues, Ford makes reliable vehicles.
Gets us where we need to be. The door design needs to be improved as it leaks and shorts out the electric lock and window controls. It gets very good mileage.
Mark H
on February 15, 2020

That it is dependable and you take care of it like changing oil etc it will last a long time.
The dependability of it, it has close to 350,000 miles. The fact that I can do a lot of the service on it, like oil change. It is also an American Company and I will only buy American. I have no complaints about it.

I really like the chrome like wheels.
This 16 yr old vehicle shows it is age, rattling a lot as it is driven. The windows are not power. This vehicle is family friendly, can only hold a small amount of passengers. The leaf springs squeals as you drive over uneven surface. Otherwise I like how it starts every time and so far as not caused any mechanical problems.

Chrysler Sebring is good beginner car.
The car battery is underneath the car tire. So it is very inconvenient to get to or change. Has great gas mileage though for its make. Has some blind spots. Cannot tow larger items. The ceiling of the car is too low. The visors are low as well. Ac has had problems in the past.

Amazing reliable vehicle.
My 2002 Ford ranger is absolutely amazing. I've owned many different Ford's and most of those have been rangers of various years. They have all been extremely reliable for myself and my family. They are very easy to maintain and work on. I would recommend them to anyone.

My 2002 Ford ranger it has an extended cab for more room and a six foot bed.
I have had this truck for about 10 years now and have had only minor trouble with it I use this to go target shooting and running around town and I take care of it with oil changes and routine check ups. It has 1018. 000 miles on it. I bought it off my son about 10 years ago and it has serve me very well.
Brendon F
on November 26, 2019
Gas mileage is fantastic with this model and make.
I like the clean engine and its easy maintenance. However the engine is a bit lacking in horse power and the front wheel drive makes it more of a 'flat land' vehicle.
Zoe G
on November 17, 2019
I love the size of the truck.
Rust is the biggest problem I have with this car, it seems there is a new patch of rust on the body every day and I am starting to notice little patches of rust on the frame. The care is very loud and so I figure there are some holes in the exhaust somewhere due to rust. A few years back had to get the entire brake system replaced (spindles, rotors, the whole thing) because it was so rusted out they couldn't even get the brake pad off. I have also had to replace the clutch. The car does not seem to be too good on gas mileage either given how small it is.

My 2002 Ford Ranger Review
I love my ford, but it has had a lot of work done. A lot of the parts have been replaced. Mainly differential work, but all Fords seem to have problems with that. It was not used for a period of time but it had been put to use again. I will use it until it dies.
John S
on August 10, 2019
I did get into one mishap in Greenville, SC, where the serpentine belt broke and everything went to hell soon thereafter. The truck overheated because the water pump wasn't spinning and I didn't see any warning lights or the gauges going overboard. So I had the truck hauled all the way back to Roswell, GA.
I'm sentimental about this truck because my dad sold it to me at a fairly good price and it was his truck. I dislike this truck because it gets terrible gas mileage (approx 15 MPG) and is hard to stop for such a relatively light truck. I do like the super-duper stereo they had installed (for that time), except for the overly boomy-sounding bass.

on July 15, 2019
Very reliable Ford truck.
Very reliable for what it is. The body quality could be a lot better a lot of rust and damage. Not sure if it is worth it to get repaired. Very good on gas and roomy. It always starts even in sub zero weather, also very inexpensive to repair the engine when something goes wrong.
Lynn D
on June 27, 2019
My ranger is a standard shift without the power windows and everything.
My ranger has been mostly reliable for sixteen years as I am the original owner. I had a few warranty problems and simple recalls that were taken care of at the dealer. The dealer moved to an end of town I do not frequent, so I have been using a third party for maintenance since then. It has over 100, 000 miles on it now and is starting to need some moderate repairs that are more costly. It has been a decent truck but was really to small for my size.
Susan P

It has a smooth ride, and lots of room. It is very quiet riding and not bumpy. You can carry many heavy items and not worry about anything breaking down.

A good daily driver, gets from point a to point b and pulls a jet ski
It's comfortable but I think it's starting to go downhill performance wise. I'm hearing engine ping and it doesn't have as much power as it used to. Overall it is still a pretty good truck and pretty reliable for the most part. I don't know what else to say honestly.
